recently I've setup a gitlab server on one of my VM using Ubutun 16.04LTS.
I used this guide for installation
https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/#ubuntu1604
After the installation a added a Let's encrypt SSL certificate to the server and created a user account.
I then added my Personal SSH Key to my user to use it with git. After creating a project and trying to push to the server, I got this message from ssh
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
I then ran ssh -vt git@
gitlab_server
which gave me this output

Using the same SSH Key with GitHub is working flawlessly, which might be an indicator that there's a server problem
